The Tryhold Reservoir quests take place near the circular NPC platform. Your task is to locate, then reactivate 3 large white globes called Wards or [npc=190969]s. They're located in temples (aka halls). You'll also find a lost Watcher and deal with trash.

The Ward names sound simple (North, East and West Wards), but they only make sense if you set waypoints. That’s because the key focal point is the high waterfall— which isn’t to the North. One of the three openings to the round NPC platform gives you a view of a faint distant tower - that’s North. But you can’t see it when you’re playing.

Ignore the Ward names. You'll be given directions to go to one temple/hall at a time. Check the mini-map for the blue quest area outlines.


Getting oriented
2 identical tall temples
on each side of waterfall.
Fly up to the high landing platforms to enter these temples.

  • North Ward is in the tall temple to the left of the waterfall. High entrance: (51.3, 56.6)

  • East Ward is in the tall temple to the right of the waterfall. High entrance: (51.3, 61.2)



You'll go to both temples for the quest Where There's a Ward, There's a Way.
Identical mobs -- there is one large water elemental and several smaller water elementals. If you keep to the side of the round room, the large elemental will ignore you. One of the smaller elementals will tag you, but ignore it until you touch the globe (aka Ward).
Small ground level temple
  • West Ward is in the small temple near the NPC platform. Entrance: (47.9, 59.4) Walk around the NPC platform. You'll see the temple through an opening in the platform wall. Or fly around the platform.



[npc=189045] is there. Find her for Wotcher, Watcher?
Mobs. The mobs are active and include humanoids, water elementals and an earth elemental.
You'll go to all three temples for the quest For the Ward! (hmm the quest name sounds somehow familiar... )
Cave
Two quests are located in a cave next to the tall temple to the left of the waterfall: Refti Retribution and We Don't Negotiate with Primalists. There are 2 cave entrances:

  • main entrance (51.9, 58.6) At ground level, face the temple columns and walk to your right. You'll quickly find the entrance.

  • side entrance (52.9, 58.5) From the main cave entrance fly low toward the high waterfall. There is a cave entrance at ground level to your left. There are fewer mobs at the side entrance and you will be able to rescue all 4 [npc=193813]s without venturing into the middle of the cave.

  • Inside the cave, look for a ramp that spirals upward on the right wall of the cave. It lead to [npc=186367] and the [item=193043]. Beware -- the two adds respawn really fast.

Description

This reservoir used to be protected by three warding stones placed by Tyr. They were meant to stabilize the elemental magic that is prevalent in the Dragon Isles. When you woke me, I sensed damage done to the west ward. I fear the Primalists may have done this to all of them. Still, we must assess the damage done in order to figure out what we should do next.
